Thank you to everyone for your support. The fiction has now been stubbed. You can pre-order (or regular order, depending on your timezone) an updated version on Amazon</a>.


    Original author note:


    <blockquote>


    Thank you all for reading book 1 of The Silent Archmage.


    Many of you have recognized the primary influence on this story, and while it may have taken many elements from The Irregular at Magic High School to begin with, I hope the original ideas I had came through.Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.


    To be honest, I am not currently motivated to write a book 2. While I understand reader frustrations with cribbed elements, the sheer amount of vitriol leveled at my work and my character has made it hard to continue onwards. I have edited portions of the story for originality and will be publishing it on Amazon shortly. This fiction will stub in just over 24 hours (around 9 PM EST Jan 14 2025). Depending on response on Amazon, the story may continue. I like what I''ve written of this story and where I''ve taken it, but authors are humans too, and it is a bit disheartening to log in and only see hatred for my work.


    That said, I hope those of you who read to the end of this book 1 enjoyed it. If you''d like to support it, I will be announcing the official launch on 1/14. Thank you for your time. I hope everyone has a good 2025.
